Kucinich sets 5 PM for announcement of Articles of Impeachment against Cheney

Michael Roston, rawstory.com

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) has announced that he will hold a new conference on introducing Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Richard Cheney at 5 PM today. The announcement came after Kucinich delayed the move, originally scheduled for noon today, on account of the Vice President’s hospital visit this morning.

It’s time now for us to follow through by asking the rest of Congress to get on board with the American public, and by letting the media know where we stand.


it just so happens that Impeach for Peace has recently met with Rep.
Keith Ellison of the Judiciary Committee.

Rep. Ellison was kind enough to give us some advice as to how to pressure
that committee to act on impeachment. He reccomended which members of the
Judiciary could use some encouragement. So, we’ve adjusted our
Do-It-Yourself Impeachment (which has apparently been wildly successful in
helping Kucinich), and have refocused it to impeach Cheney, as well as
directing it to the members of the Judiciary recommended by Ellison.

So, it’s our turn again to help this process along. Let’s innundate these
members of the Judiciary with a document that actually initiates
impeachment via the House of Representative’s own rules. This legal
document is as binding as if a State or if the House itself passed the
impeachment resolution. This document is based on one which was
successful in impeaching a federal official in the past. You can find it on
IfP’s website as a PDF.

Kucinich says he needs us to keep building the groundswell of support for
impeachment all over the country. He said he felt that our framing the
issue of impeachment in terms of the Constitution is a principled choice,
and ultimately more effective than just acting on anger.

Do-It-Yourself by downloading the memorial, filling in the relevant
information (your name, state, etc.), and sending it in. The document also
has you sending them to Impeach for Peace. That way, we can collect them
all in one place, and deliver them all simultaneously (with cameras
rolling) in July. Be a part of history.
